A member asked:

What could be the reason for getting hypertension, tachycardia, paranoia, vomiting and having a seizure while being in a long plane ride?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Oxidative sress: Because the oxygen content is lower in the plane you succumbed to insufficient oxidation that affected your brain. A healthy person can withstand this easily and it means that your metabolism is marginal. It could be as simple as poor diet, particularly sugar in all its different forms.
